O You who belive! Save
yourselves and your families
from a fire whoes fuel is men
and stones; over it are angels
stern and strong. they do not
disobey Allaah in what He
commands them, and do as they
are commanded.
Hadith:
Hazrat Abu
Hurairah RA reported: The
Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W)
said, “When a man dies, his
deeds come to an end, except
for three: A continuous
charity, knowledge by which
people derive benefit, pious
son who prays for him.”

Words of Wisdom“Be humble when you are victorious, and smile when you

“Haters will broadcast your
failure, but whisper your success.”
PRIORITY
should be
YOUR DUTY
Dear Readers,
As we approach the
c o m i n g
months of
Staci Brody
Ramadan
and Dhul-Hijjah, it is important
for us to recognize and prioritize
our duties to Allah SWT. Although
it is easy to fall into the habit of
spending our time trying to obtain merely transient success, it
is necessary that we also take the
time to reflect on how our conduct and actions will contribute
to our success not only in this
world, but also in the hereafter.
One of the most profound ways
we can realize Allah SWT’s
mercy is through the execution
of good deeds. Allah SWT says
in the Holy Quran, “And those
who believe and do righteous
good deeds, they are dwellers of
TO
ALLA AH
paradise, they will dwell
therein forever” (2: 82). Keeping this in mind, it is essential
to understand that it does not
matter what your status, good
or bad, may be in this world,
but rather, when it comes to
death, the only memento of
worth that any of us will bring
to the grave with us will be
the good deeds in which we
performed. The five pillars
of Islam (declaration of faith,
prayer, charity, fasting, and
pilgrimage) are among the
most sublime actions any human being can fulfill during
their lifetime. The Hajj (pilgrimage) is such a substantial act that it actually removes
the sins of the performer and
cleanses one so much that,
SubhanAllah, after performing Hajj, Prophet Muhammad
SAW says that it is like the
pilgrim becomes as pure as a
newborn baby. With the potential to receive this extraordinary blessing, it comes as
a surprise that some Muslims
choose not to perform Hajj,
as instructed by Allah SWT.
In the Holy Quran (3:97), Allah says, “And [due] to Allah
from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a
way. But whoever disbelieves
- then indeed, Allah is free
from need of the worlds.”
This verse has a two-fold
meaning. First it addresses
whom the pilgrimage is
obligatory for, which is those
who have the ability (health
and financial means), and
next it declares the self-sufficiency of God.

INTERPRETATION
By Rev. Thomas Graf
Professor at BC College, Florida
Continued from March / April 2015
HIKMAH
When I begin my World Religion class each
semester, we discuss the importance of understanding interpretation. I attempt to demonstrate that from the beginning of time, human beings have been involved in the process
Rev. Thomas Graf of interpretation and re-interpretation. Some
students question if this is good, or bad? In all honesty I wonder if such a question is valid. In essence, whether some "interpret" it to be good, or bad does not take away from the fact that
interpretation is a reality and part of our every day lives. One of
the tools that I use to illustrate this topic of interpretation is art.
I usually bring a form of art art, show it to the class and ask
them what they see, feel, understand this particular piece of art
to represent. As you can imagine, the number of responses,
"interpretations" become as vast as possibly the number of students in the class. One thing that is usually identified by the
students is that each person's interpretation needs to be respected,
even though, perhaps, one might not be able to identify with
nor fully understand their particular interpretation. It is from
this vantage point of identifying the validity of interpretations,
that we go a little further and begin to study how religions have
developed as human beings have attempt to understand and
communicate their very deep, personal experiences of the Divine in their lives and in their relation to one another. In essence,
what is the essential meaning of the word religion? In its Latin
root (RELIGIO) it translates to RECONNECT. I find it interesting that the word itself connotes an apparent Disconnect, thus
requiring the need to come back together. Our discussions naturally become quite involved at this point in the class, as we
delve into thee manifold understandings of what is disconnected,
what might be reasons for such disconnect and how the
reconnection can be made complete and whole. We are indeed
complex individuals. I truly believe that we live in a complex
world, and that our God is not as easily defined as some seem
to think. As we continue our journeys here on this earth, I would
hope that we use all of our senses to fully enter into this wonderful opportunity given us to attempt understanding of the
Magnificent Divine that is in us, around us and is hopefully
working through us as we feebly continue this momentous task
of reconnecting. As I begin my World Religion Class with this
understanding of interpretation, and the use of art form to exact
such illustration, I believe that Art in and of itself can be a wonderful tool that assists us in this process of understanding and
reconnecting. As Aristotle once mentioned, "The aim of art is to
represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." This past Sunday, our church hosted our
Annual Art Exhibition. One of our devoted church members,
and local artist, Gin Todd, teaches an art class every Tuesday
evening and Wednesday morning at our church.
And The
SUNNAH
Dr. Ghous Muhammad
Dr. Hamid Ullah, after mentioning all the
traditions of prohibition, writes:— “All
these traditions mean that round about the year 7 A.H., the
Prophet (peace be upon him) made some important speeches.
Some newly converted Muslims had come from Yemen, Some
of them were literate. Some Surahs of the Quran were given to
them to read and memorise. When they heard that speech of
the Prophet (peace be upon him) some of them wrote it on the
same papers on which the Qur’an had been written. At thin the
Prophet (peace be upon him) prohibited to write anything from
him other than the Qur’an and ordered to cancel what had
been so written.” “Don’t write, from me anything except the
Qur’an, and he who has done .so should erase that.” The traditions are the history of the Sunnah. These were being recorded during the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him), as
shown below “And remember what is read in your houses out
of the Qur’an and the Sunnah’ Somebody asked from Imam
Shafi’i about the argument that the ‘Hikma’ which was revealed along with the Qur’an, means the Sunnah, He recited
this verse. And this verse, further points out that in the house
of the Prophet two things used to be read, the Qur’an and the
Sunnah. This indicates that the Prophet’s wives used to write
the Sunnah as well There- fore the Qur’an itself witnesses to
the early stage of the compilation of the Sunnah during the
Prophet’s life (peace be upon him);
(b) Hafiz Abdul Bar says, “The Prophet dictated a book on the
law of taxation, monetary come pensation, inheritance and general law. Its copies were given to the governors appointed outside Madina, “
(c) Hafiz Ibne Hajar Asqlani writes: “The Prophet (peace be
upon him) appointed Amr bin Hazam as the commissioner and
the jurisconsult of Najran, and dictated for him a book which
contained the ‘Law of Inheritance the general law, law of taxation and monetary compensation, Imam Zuhri says that this
book was written on leather. It was with the grandson of Amer
bin Hazam. He took it from him and read it. Amer bin Hazam
collected twenty one more dictations of the Prophet and compiled in one volume. Ibne Tulum has made it the appendex of
his book ‘Aa’lam ul Sailin An Kitabe Syed il Mursalin.’ Umar
bin Abdul Aziz required some document of the Prophet on the:
‘Law of Taxation’. He got this book from the descendants of
Amer bin Hazam. 2 Abu Daud, Nasai, Ibne Habban and Darmi
haven narrated its parts relating to the Revenue and Criminal
Laws. Yaqub bin Safyan says: The companions of the Prophet
(peace be upon him) and their successors used to refer to it
and rely on it.

Let Us Mak
e This
Make
Our Best Ramadhan!
Sister Sylmerie
Congratulations
to
The blessed month of opportunity, the month of
Qur’aan, mercy, forgiveness, salvation and patience,
the month of endless blessings will soon be upon us.
May Allah SWT bless us all with the life, health and
motivation to embrace and maximize the blessed month in ways that are
most pleasing to Him, Ameen.
With just a few days to go before we are hopefully graced with
the blessed month of Ramadhan, we should be preparing ourselves and our families for this special season of opportunity, joy,
glad tidings and great blessings. We must prepare ourselves mentally, spiritually and physically and plan to make every effort for
this to be our best Ramadhan ever. Let us also continue to utilize
the rest of this month of Shaban to sharpen and fine tune our
worship habits, and follow up the coming month of Ramadhan to
fast, and worship our Lord and Creator with the utmost love,
gratitude and sincerity and focus. Let us use our good health and
our free time in seeking the pleasure of Allah SWT by remembering Him in prayer 5 times a day, as well as in extra Sunnah, Nafil
and tahajjud prayers and other Dhikr. Let us also repent for all
our sins daily, so we can meet the month of Ramadan with a clean
record ready to fill our accounts with lots and lots of blessings
from Allah SWT the most gracious most merciful. Let us also call
on our Lord with focus, humility, and consistency if we want our
duas and supplications answered insha Allah. As we make our
plans for this special month of Ramadhan, the month of Quran,
the month of mercy, forgiveness and salvation from the fire of
Hell, let us remember the advice of Prophet Muhammad PBUH
who told us more or less that there are two great favors that Allah
SWT has bestowed on us human beings that we frequently take
for granted and we consistently waste: They are Allah’s blessings
of good health that He gives to us and also our free time. One day
we will have to give an account to our Creator Allah SWT for how
we utilized our good health as well as how spent our free time on
this earth. While we are blessed with good health and spare time,
we should look for every opportunity to worship our Lord in every way, we should try to help others in need, help clean the house
of Allah God Almighty, the Masjid, visit the sick, go to funerals,
help out in our community, help provide food and clothing to the
less fortunate brothers and sisters in humanity, help in the Dawa
efforts to spread the word of God Almighty to all mankind, help
our neighbors, etc. My friends, we have to stop making excuses
for our inaction and complacency and start making the effort by
remembering our duties to our Lord and duties to each other and
by utilizing the favors and bounties of our Lord in meaningful
ways. We waste so much time at home on the computer, surfing
the internet, playing games, watching TV, talking on the phone
about each other, sinning ourselves by slandering and talking ill of
others without even realizing it, and we do so many other things
that will not bring us any rewards.

DEATH’S INEVITABILITY
Written By: Br. Hamzad
Death is your final chapter,
Taking you off life’s burner.
No more the toast on earth,
As to six under you will berth.
Our journey from birth to death,
Only begins with a simple breath.
A road paved with joys, much sorrow,
As we travel to the eventual morrow.
Malikul Mawt waits not for anyone.
As for friend or foe, he knows none.
Blows your fuse by Allah’s behest,
Saying adiou to your mundane test.
When the throes of death reach man,
He sights end of his earthly span,
And filled is his heart, emotions rife,
For at stake a very precious life.
Some take life stride by stride.
Others not, opting for suicide.
What a way on earth to sit, then exit
Straight to the Bottomless Pit!
Allah says: “Taste of death for every soul.”
So while on stage, act your role,
Following script, Sunnah & Qur’aan,
And successful would be His Insaan.

I’TIKAAF
MISTAKES
ARE PART OF
DESTINY
By: Dr. Harun Yahya / Ankara, Turkey
Submitted by: Sis. Ebru / Turkey
No one wants to make a mistake and do
himself or others mischief. However,
making mistakes is an important part of
Dr. Harun Yahya
our trial in the life of this world. Allah
created our trial in the life of this world in this way. Anyone can
make a mistake but what is important is that he repents after his
mistake and strive not to repeat this mistake. Allah reveals in the
verses of the Qur’an that human beings are weak creatures
who can forget and be mistaken. A person can make a mistake
when he does not think something through, ignores something,
does not take the necessary precautions, is overwhelmed by his
weak points, forgets or is mistaken. This is very natural. However the important thing is how the person reacts after this,
rather than the mistake itself. However big the mistake is, as
soon as the person decides to resign himself and begins to show
the attitude hoped to please Allah, that mistake disappears -by
Allah’s leave. Almighty Allah reveals as such in Surah Al- Imran:
“Those who, when they act indecently or wrong themselves,
remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their bad actions (and
who can forgive bad actions except Allah?) and do not knowingly persist in what they were doing.” (Surah Al ‘Imran, 135)
Allah Creates Everything We Do - Everything a person lives
throughout his or her life, everything they do, every situation
they face, all of them are created by Allah with all of the pros
and cons. In the verses it is revealed that not even a single leaf
falls without the knowledge of Allah. (Surah al-An‘am, 59). In
Surat al-Qalam, it is revealed “Everything they did is in the Books.
Everything is recorded, big or small.” (Surat al-Qamar, 52-53).
This means that the person makes that mistake because Allah
wills him to do so; it is in his destiny to make that mistake.
When he acts according to the Qur’an, something good will
happen after that mistake. For example, a person may break a
vase when walking by it because he is not careful enough or
does not look ahead. Or he can bump into a dinner plate prepared with great effort and knock it off a table. He may cause
the people waiting for him to delay their jobs because he fell
asleep. Now in all these there is a variety of reasons created by
Allah. Allah is the One Who breaks that object. Maybe that object would have caused a conflict between its owners or broken
in a dangerous way that would harm someone. Maybe Allah will
make a much more beautiful one to be purchased instead. In the
same way, Allah is the One Who makes the food spill on the
floor. Maybe there is an bad ingredient inside that food and it
would have made someone ill. Maybe that food would have
prevented that person from eating something healthier.
By Bro. Farooq Shafi
Sunrise, Florida U.S.A
One of the bounties that Allaah SWT has
bestowed upon the Muslim Ummah via
the Holy Prophet (SAW) is the holy month
of Ramadhan. Although this whole month
Bro. Farooq Shafi is full of Almighty Allaah’s Mercy, Grace
and Benevolence, these attributes of Allaah SWT are at the
utmost height in the last 10 days. The holy prophet SAW,
used to do Itikaaf in the last 10 days of Ramadhan. Now, it is
Almighty Allaah’s Mercy and Benevolence that a large number of Muslims sit for Itikaaf these days; and the majority is
of the younger generation. The heightened inclination to sit
for Itikaaf these days is a living proof that the NEW ERA of
Islam is dawning. During Itikaaf, not only do we reap the
benefits of our presence in the House of Allaah, but also the
mercies of the last 10 days of Ramadhan. Although the duration of Itikaaf is for a short period of time, the rewards are
ENORMOUS. During Itikaaf, one should recite the Holy
Qur’aan, do Zikr, read Darood Sharif, perform nafal salaah
and do tasbih; all in abundance. And the last item that is a
“panacea” for many asks from Allaah SWT is the
“muraaqibah” (meditation). Allaah SWT Says in chapter 34,
v. 46 of the Holy Qur’aan, “Say unto them O Muhammad, I
exhort you unto one thing only, that ye awake for Allaah’s
sake, by twos and singly, and then reflect”. In chapter 3, v.
191, Allaah SWT Defines the Intelligents (Momins) as, “Such
as remember Allaah, standing, sitting and reclining and consider the creation of the heavens and the earth”. There is no
restriction of taking a bath during Itikaaf; neither it is in the
Holy Qur’aan or the Hadith. Islam, which is easy and according to nature, is not rigid. One cannot enjoy ibaadah (state
of prayer) without cleansing the body. Bathing, rather, freshens up the body. What is “not” recommended strongly during
Itikaaf is “vain talk”. It has the greatest potential of keeping
one away from reaping the benefits of Itikaaf. There are two
narrations about visiting the sick during Itikaaf and both are
related by Aisha (RA). One relates that the Holy Prophet
(SAW) used to visit the sick but for a very limited time. The
other relates that one should refrain from this practice. If read
together, it can be ascertained that visiting the “very sick” for
a short time is permissible but not every sick. And accordingly, it is permissible to attend the funeral of a close relative
during Itikaaf. At the end, as a reminder to myself and all the
readers, Allaah SWT Reminds us in chapter 13, v. 28, “who
have believed and whose hearts rest in the remembrance of
Allaah: verily, in the remembrance of Allaah do hearts find
solace”.

HOW THE MIGHTY ARE FALLEN!
THE RISE & DEMISE OF YAJUJ AND MAJUJ
Bro. Mikayl Yahya Ibn Kefa / United Kingdom
Some time ago,
I visited a local
supermarket
with my wife.
As we ambled
around
the
aisles, I saw a
man. He was
Bro. Mikayl Yahya Ibn Kefa physically imposing, and carried with him a palpable
aura of aggression. Writ large on the front
of his dark blue sweat shirt, in starkly
contrasting white letters, were the words,
“I DO NOT CARE IF YOU RESPECT
ME”. As he passed, I noticed that there
were words writ large on the back of his
sweat shirt also: “ AS LONG AS YOU
FEAR ME”. That told me pretty much
everything I needed to know about his
mindset. Fear is a very powerful emotion, and its power is often woefully underestimated. Shaitan knows this, and it
a tool that he has no hesitation in utilising
if he deems it necessary. Fear can make
people do truly terrible things. However,
depressing though this thought may be,
the Qur’an contains an example of how
fear itself can be conquered, and how the
power it seems to imbue a person with is
truly illusory. During a protracted journey abroad, the legendary king Dhu’l
Qarnayn, a man of both great piety and
great power, was approached by a tribe
who seem to have been rather devoid of
technological expertise and lived simple,
uncomplicated lives. They were, the
Qur’an states, “barely able to understand
speech”. They told Dhu’l Qarnayn that
they were being harassed by two tribes
known as Yajuj and Majuj, who were causing “great mischief” in the land. The full
story of what then transpired is contained
in Surat al Kahf, 93-100 and Surat al
Anbya 96-97. I strongly urge you to read
the complete account before continuing,
but what we are told in essence is this:
“They said, ‘O Dhul Qarnayn, indeed Gog
and Magog are great mischief-makers in
the land. Can we pay you so that you
might make between us and them a barrier?’ He replied, ‘My Lord has established me in something which is better
than what you offer, but help me with
your strength and I will create between
you and them a dam. Bring me sheets of
iron.’ When he had placed them between
the two mountainsides, he said, “Blow
upon them with bellows’ until he had
made a fire. Then he said, ‘Bring me
molten copper that I may pour it over
[the dam].” So Gog and Magog were
unable to pass over it, nor were they able
to penetrate it.” Now it is clear that the
people of Yajuj and Majuj were warlike
and aggressive, and yet the actions of a
pious servant of Allah, with the evident
blessing and permission of Allah Himself,
neutered their behaviour and enabled their

victims to enter an era of peace in which
Yajuj and Majuj could not trouble them
further. This is the first juncture in the
account where we learn a most valuable
lesson: no matter how powerful our enemies may think they are, their might is
as nothing compared to that of their Creator. However, breathtaking though the
story of Dhu’l Qarnayn is, what we are
told later about Yajuj and Majuj elevates
things to a completely different level.
Before he leaves, Dhu’l Qarnayn tells the
tribes-people, “This [wall] is a mercy
from my Lord; but when the promise of
my Lord arrives, He will make it level,
and the promise of my Lord is always
true.” Abu Hurayrah was a meticulous
scholar who spent three years in the companionship of Prophet Mohammed
(SAW). He related a hadeeth of the
Prophet (SAW) in which he once stated,
“Every day, Yajuj and Majuj dig [at the
wall] until they can almost see daylight
coming through from the other side.
Their leader says to them, ‘Stop now;
come back tomorrow and complete your
task.’ But then Allah makes the wall as
strong as it was before. This will continue until Allah decides that the time is
right to let them loose against mankind.
They will dig, and their leader will say,
‘Come back and finish it tomorrow, if it
is the will of Allah.’

Dear Shaikh,
On behalf of General John Kelly, Commander United States
Southern Command, I wish to thank you very much for
sharing your journey of faith and providing information
about your work with Darul Uloom Institute. We were most
gratified that you took the time to assist us with religious
perspectives and cultural insights we would not have otherwise had. . You brought nuance to the discussion and greatly
assisted the US Southern Command Religious Affairs Office
in conducting the entire event.
I want to personally thank you for your willingness to take
extra time to invest in developing the themes and underpinnings of the symposium. Your contributions were significant
and will continue to ‘play out’ as we move towards Religion
Matters III. You demonstrated, in word and deed, your commitment to the United States Military, and US Southern
Command specifically.
We were inspired by your wisdom and enriched by your candor; and I would like to think we had some fun along the way.
We look forward to many other engagements with you as we
seek to broaden our perspective in working with nations in
Central and South America and the Caribbean and creating
environments for multi-faith dialogue. May the Lord God
Almighty Bless and Keep You, +AMEN+.

WHOLE GRAIN
DISTRIBUTION
By: Dr. Mohsin Jaffer
Senior Medical Associates
What’s the difference
between whole grains
and refined grains?
Any foods made with
rice, oats, wheat,
cornmeal or cereal,
are part of the grains
Dr. Mohsin Jaffer
group. Breads, cereals, oatmeal, pasta,
and tortillas are all made from grain products. Whole grains contain the entire
grain kernel, the bran (fiber), the germ,
the endosperm (the starchy part). These
whole grain components are rich in vitamins and minerals. Examples of whole
grains include whole wheat flour, oatmeal,
and brown rice. Refined grains have been
milled and processed to give them finer
texture and an extended shelf life. However, this process removes much of the
fiber as well as many vitamins and minerals the body needs. Examples of refined grains include white flour, white
bread, and white rice. Why are whole
grains better for your health? It has long
been known that eating whole grains is
important because whole grains contain
mostly fiber, an important element in digestive health. Fiber has important vitamins and minerals. It also helps with constipation, bloating, some bowel diseases,
and contains plant antioxidants. Recently,
studies have shown that eating more
whole grains may help with lowering
cholesterol, maintaining insulin control,
slowing plaque build-up in arteries, managing weight, and some cancers. How do
I get more whole grains in my diet? The
dietary guidelines recommend increasing
whole grains by choosing whole grain
breads, bran cereals, whole wheat pasta
and brown rice. The American Academy
of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends
at least three servings of whole grains
every day. Be sure to check the food
label and ingredients. Choose foods that
name one of the following ingredients first
on the ingredient list: whole wheat, brown
rice, oatmeal, whole cornmeal, cracked
wheat, graham flour, whole barley, and
whole rye.

AT THE
CEMETER
Y
CEMETERY
Two little boys stole a bag of orange
from their neighbour and decided to go
to a calm place to share the “loot’’. One
of them suggested the nearby cemetery.
As they were jumping the big gate to
enter the cemetery, 2 oranges fell out of
the bag behind the gate, but they didn’t
bother to pick them since they felt they
had enough in the bag. Few minutes
later, a drunkard on his way from a local bar passed near the cemetery gate
and heard a voice: “One for me, one for
u. “One for me, one for u” He immediately sobers up and runs as fast as he
can to the local priest. “Father father
pls come with me oh!!! Come and witness God & Satan sharing corpse at the
cemetery.” They both ran back to the
cemetery gate and the voice continued:
“One for me, one for u, one for me, one
for you! Suddenly the voice stop counting and says: “What about the two at
the gate (refering to the Priest and the
drunkard)?” See the marathon! Even the
priest almost passed the church gate,
shouting “we are not dead yet!!!

MISTAKES
ARE PART OF DESTINY
By: Dr. Harun Yahya / Ankara, Turkey
Submitted by: Sis. Ebru / Turkey
Also Allah is the One Who does not wake
a person who is late for a job because he
fell asleep because maybe his friends waiting for him need to be late as well. Maybe
this will protect them from some danger
or maybe bring the means to carry out a
more important job. If one does not realize these facts, when he makes a mistake
he would panic and feel anxiety and sorrow. He would feet unease and dismay.
His sadness would increase even because
of the effect of this situation on other
people and his troubles increase day by
day. However, it is not in line with the
moral values of the Qur’an to feel sad,
dismay and troubled because of a mistake,
which took place in his destiny by Allah’s
will. Muslims overthrow their discomort
and anxieties as a result of their mistakes
again by turning to Allah and acting according to the moral values of the Qur’an.
They do not fall into depression like
people who do not live by the morality of
religion. They do not feel sadness, sorrow
or hopelessness by evaluating their mistakes with an emotional state of mind.
They only experinece a very deep and
strong sense of regret. However this is not
an evil kind of regret; it is a Muslim kind
of regret because this feeling of regret
helps them hold onto the Qur’an even
more strongly. They pray to Allah even
more deeply. Their religious enthusiasm,
determination to live by the moral values of the Qur’an, submission to Allah,
faith in the hereafter and fear of Allah
increase tremendaously. They take very
sincere decisions to become better in every way and become more enthusiastic and
energetic by striving more in this way. They
know that even if they could take the time
back, they would still make the same mistakes. When they criticize themselves and
feel regret for their actions, they do not
forget that all things have occured according to destiny. Therefore they do not “live
in a sense of guilt” as irreligious people
do.

MISTAKES ARE PART OF DESTINY
Allah revealed in the Qur’an as
such:“Everything they did is in
the Books. Everything is recorded, big or small. (Surat alQamar, 52-53) It is impossible
to claim that a person will
never make any mistakes
throughout his life and is complete and flawless because human beings are created as
weak creatures who can make
mistakes. Our Almighty Lord
is the One Who is forgiving
and accepts repentance. Therefore, a believer needs to take
lessons from the mistakes he
made knowingly or unknowingly or because he followed
his inner self. What he needs
to do is to regret it and follow
the truth and submit to our
Lord and strive not to repeat
that mistake. Of course he
needs to be very careful about
not making any mistakes and
commit any further sins and
protecting the boundaries of
our Lord. But even if he makes
a mistake it is a very good
quality of faith to ask for forgiveness from Allah. The
names of Allah as “The Acceptor of Repentance” (AtTawwab), “The All-Forgiving”
(Al-Ghaffar), “The All-Merciful” (Ar-Rahman) are manifested on the believers who regret their mistakes, ask for forgiveness and turn to Allah.
Believers Take Lessons
From Their Mistakes - As a
result of their faith and fear of
Allah, mistakes help believers
become more clean morally.
Maybe they make a mistake on
one thing, but they remember
that mistake all their lives and
avoid making a similar mistake
by taking lessons from it.
However, Allah created human
beings especially in a character so that they can use their
conscience, feel regret and repent, turn to Him and ask for
His forgiveness and take decisions not to repeat that mistake. A person must do all he
can not to make a mistake; and
strive to act in a very moral
way by using his mind, will
and conscience to the end. But
when there is a mistake, he
needs to act in the way as described in the Qur’an. If that
mistake has helped the person
to better understand his weakness in the face of Allah’s infinite power and his need for
Allah, then this shows that
person’s sincere faith and fear
of Allah. If he regrets his mistake and fears to be held responsible in the Day of Judgment, and if he submits to
Allah’s mercy and forgiveness,
then he is abiding by the moral
values of the Qur’an by Allah’s
leave. Such a person prays sincerely so Allah accepts his repentance and forgives him. He
promises to Allah with a true
heart not to repeat that mistake. In one verse, our Lord
heralds that He will accept the
repentance of his sincere servants: “But if anyone makes
repentance after his wrongdoing and puts things right, Allah
will turn towards him. Allah is
Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Surat al-Ma’ida, 39) The
Qur’an is the only measure for
believers, so their approach to
a person who makes a mistake
is always in line with the moral
values of the Qur’an. A believer
knows that every person is a
human being who is weak and
who can make a mistake easily. He does not forget that Allah is the One Who creates
everything –by Allah’s leaveand he can distinguish a sincere mistake from a deliberate
one. When a person is sincere,
his love or respect would not
change because of a single
mistake - by Allah’s leave.

Let Us Mak
e T his Our Best R
amadhan!
Make
Ramadhan!
We make many excuses for
not praying and remembering
our Lord and in so doing instead of obeying our Lord and
being grateful to Him, we end
up sinning our souls by obeying and being deceived by Satan our sworn enemy whose
goal is to lead us into Hell,
(Allah forbid). Let us use our
good health and our free time
in seeking the pleasure of Allah SWT by remembering Him
in prayer 5 times a day as well
as in extra our extra prayers.
Remember, whatever we may
need help with in life, let us
call on Allah God Almighty
first, as no one else can help
us but Him. Allah SWT said in
the Quran, more or less, “Call
on me and I shall answer your
prayer”. My friends, if you
have health problems, family
problems, problems with you
kids, house problems, job
problems….beg Allah God AlAL-HIKMAT
mighty for His help and He will
surely help you in your time
of need, as He does now.
Sometimes the help or the answer to our prayer may not
come right away or may not
always come the way we expect it to, but rest assured,
Allah SWT knows what is best
for us and He will always help
us in the right way and at the
right time. But it would really
help if we had a strong connection with Him, thru our
daily worship to Him. Let us
also spend more time reciting
or reading the Quran more
often; if you can’t recite the
Arabic then contact your local Masjid and Imam and try
to learn the Arabic. Either
way, we need to read the English meaning and ask Allah
SWT to open our hearts and
guide us to understand and
implement the meaning of the
Quran in our lives. Read it for
at least 15-20 minutes a day
or more, I guarantee you will
see marked changes in your
life with the mercy of Allah
SWT. Let us fast as many days
as we can, as PBUH did in
Shaban, this will help us prepare for fasting in Ramadhan.
Let us repent to our Lord daily
while we can (now in Shaban)
for all the sins that we have
committed knowingly or unknowingly. This way, with the
mercy of Allah we can begin
the blessed month of
Ramadhan with a clean record
and begin accumulating blessings from day one. Let us read
books on the life and teachings of our mentor Prophet
Muhammad PBUH, learn
about his life and how he and
his noble companions lived and
let us try to be like them. In
general, let us try to always
be in the remembrance of our
Lord and Creator Allah SWT.
INTERNATIONAL
MUSLIM

Remember Allah SWT says in
chapter 2 verse 152: “Remember Me and I will remember
you, and be grateful to Me for
my countless favors, and
never be ungrateful to Me”.
Also, let us seize the opportunity to tell our friends and coworkers and others about why
we fast and the significance
of Ramadhan. Let us try to go
to the Masjid for the obligatory prayers especially in
Ramadhan, let us stay for the
Taraweeh prayer and listen to
the Quran being recited nightly,
also listen to any lectures being offered. Let us listen to
Quran and Islamic lectures on
CDs in our cars on our way
to work and also in our
homes. Let us get some Islamic lectures and encourage
our families to listen to the
advice and commands of God
Almighty and His Messenger.

IS
NOT THE END OF LIFE
City Manager
By: Sis. Kiran / Pembroke Pines FL.
Kiran Khan Paracha
Divorces are on the rise and we see it everywhere. My country, where we were once
proud of low divorce rate, has seen exponential rise in marriage breakups for variety
of reasons and in almost all social classes. So
we can say with some degree of certainty
that it is not a class issue. It is happening all around us with almost
similar frequency. There are many reasons but most commonly
cited ones are financial issues, in-laws problems, domestic unrest,
abuse, infidelity, general dislike and lack of respect. The end of a
marriage for any reason is a social and emotional setback for most
people. It is the end of a journey that had been initiated with faith,
dreams, love and more. But divorce is not always wrong or bad. In
some cases, it is important and even necessary for survival. So I
will never want anyone to make a sweeping judgment that all marriages can be saved or a divorce could have been avoided. I have
personally met people whose divorce saved their lives because they
were married to semi-psychopaths. However regardless of why it
ends or how important it was to end the marriage, most will mourn
a divorce because it brings an end to a life that could have been.
Girls usually go through a period of mourning and self-pity followed by hope if parents are supportive and may eventually end up
with better partners too if they seek to remarry. It’s not impossible
and it is actually happening far more frequently than you might
think. But in such cases, and for things to turn out positive for the
girls, it is essential that they have a strong support system. While
men of all ages would be encouraged to remarry, girls are usually
not actively encouraged unless they have highly supportive parents
and relatives who wish to see them happy again. It is important
that girls be encouraged to remarry, find good partners but while
they do this, allow them to first seek their own identity, have a
financial ground to stand on and take it from there. It is not right to
rush them into another marriage with just about anyone because no
one would want to go through divorce yet one more time. In case
of divorce then, let girls go through the period of mourning.

INTERPRETATION
Once a year, our church is transformed
into a Sacred Art Gallery, as pieces from
her class, art from members of our congregation, and wonderful treasures from
the children in our Center grace our Sacred Space. It is a wonderful thing to see!
This year, after the glorious viewing was
drawing to a close, someone approached
our beloved artist and congratulated her
on a wonderful exhibit. However, she did
not end there. She than stated, "What a
AL-HIKMAT
of
The City of Hollywood
WONDERFUL MINISTRY you offer here
in our church." Gin was clearly touched
by her remark, and than after brief pause
shared this story: She told of how recently
a woman entered her class who had been
very ill, and whose hands trembled. She
recently completed a work of art, and in
tears approached Gin to thank her and
share that for quite some time now she
had not felt as "whole" as she did working on and completing this piece of art.

Had she reconnected? Pablo Picasso once
shared, The purpose of Art is washing the
dust of daily life off our souls." We thank
you Gin and we celebrate your wonderful ministry at our church. As we all continue our journeys here on this earth, may
we encounter wonderful "ministries" that
can afford us opportunities to continue
such Sacred Interpretation and
Reconnection.

QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER
PRIORITY
THE NIGHT OF POWER
should be
Question: When is Layla-tul-Qadr / The Night of Power
and what should we do?
Answer: Allaah describes the “Night of Power’ as better
than a thousand months. Angel Jibraeel and the angels descend
therein, by Allaah’s permission according to Ch. 97 of the Holy
Qur’aan..The Night of Power or Destiny is an extremely important night for Muslims. It is the night in which the Holy
Qur’aan, was revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW.
The Qu’raan was revealed in Ramadhaan accroding to Chapter
2 V:185 and Chapter 97. Because the Night of Power is such a
special night, many Muslims who want to gain extra blessings,
spend the night by praying, supplicating and reading the Qur’aan
etc., either in their privacy or in a mosque with other Muslims.
There are also some Muslims who retreat/i’tikaaf in a mosque
for the last ten days of Ramadhaan, which has been a strong
practice of the Holy Prophet Muhammad SAW. Aisha R.A.,
may Allaah be pleased with her, reported that the Prophet SAW
said: Look for Laylatul Qadr on an odd-numbered night during
the last ten nights of Ramadhaan (Bukhaari). The Prophet said:
“Whoever prays during the night of Qadr with faith and hoping
for its reward will have all of his previous sins forgiven.” (Bukhari
and Muslim).
We should try and make time to do extra ibaadat/worship in
Ramaadhaan, while fasting and on the Night of Power Inshaa
Allaah. Effort should be made to do I’tikaaf if possible; we
should use every opportunity to make dua/ supplicate to Allaah;
we should not forget to remember the dua given to Aisha R.A.
by the Holy Prophet SAW, (Aisha R.A., may Allaah be pleased
with her, said: I asked the Messenger of Allah: ‘O Messenger of
Allaah, if I know what night is the night of Qadr, what should I
say during it?’ He said: ‘Say: O Allaah, You are Most Generous
in pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me/“Allahumma
innaka àfuwwun kareem tuhibbul àfwa fa`fu ànnee)”
Last but not least, extra effort should be made to read, study
and ponder over the verses of the Holy Qur’aan. Ramadhaan,
is the month in which the Qur’aan was revealed as a GUIDE
TO HUMAN BEINGS, therefore, in addition to reading and listening to the Qur’aan in Ramadhaan and the Night of Power,
Allaah expects us to make the sincere intention and effort to
change our attitude, manners and lifestyle for better according
to the Qur’aan and Sunnah Inshaa Allaah.
YOUR DUTY
TO
ALLA AH
Therefore, if you have the resources and the health to perform
Hajj, then you should not procrastinate to do so. Going back
to the unpredictability of life and death discussed earlier, it is
crucial to realize that to die without performing Hajj, when you
had the ability to do so (according to the Hadith) is like dying
as a “Jew or Christian”. This is not meant as an insult to either
religion, but rather a point to be made that although Jews, Christians, and Muslims are all People of the Book, and all technically perform the first four pillars of Islam, Muslims are the
only people Allah SWT commanded to perform Hajj, as a requirement of their religion. For this reason, do not simply make
the intention to perform Hajj in your lifetime, but rather make it
a priority because there is a chance you could fall ill, lose your
wealth, or have some other difficulty in the future which prevents you to go. Lastly, in the world today Islam is being
attacked from many angles. It is our responsibility as Muslims,
more than ever, to spread the proper message of Islam to others who are misguided about Islam’s true message. In the
Holy Quran (5:67), Allah tells the Prophet SAW, “O Messenger,
announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord,
and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message.
And Allah will protect you from the people.” As Muslims, we
cannot be afraid to speak up against evil in the world. In the
last sermon of Prophet Muhammad SAW, he states, “Be my
witness, O ALLAH, that I have conveyed your message to your
people”. Granted that Prophet Muhammad SAW is the most
excellent example we have of good character and righteous
deeds, we should all strive to make it our duty to spread the
message of Islam, just like our beloved Prophet SAW did. Assuredly, by taking on this responsibility, the popularity and spread
evil messages will cease. As Muslims, it is essential that we
remain steadfast in fulfilling our duties to Allah SWT. This
includes performing good and righteous deeds as well as completing the five pillars that have been ordained to us. Only then
can we expect to receive the mercy and blessings of Allah SWT
and obtain true success, both in this world and in the hereafter,
InshaAllah, Ameen.

Let Us Mak
e This
Make
Our Best Ramadhan!
My friends, this time is too
precious to waste, we could
be gaining so many blessings
by just making a greater effort to gain knowledge and do
more good deeds. Remember,
this is a progressive way of
life, if you think you are doing
all of the above or some of
these good deeds now…then
try to do more, keep raising
the bar, we can never have too
many blessings, we will need
as much as we can get to wipe
out the many sins we commit
knowingly, and unknowingly,
in the past, present and future.
Allah SWT continuously
showers us with His many
favors, to show our gratitude,
we should continue to give
more in His way and for His
pleasure. Unfortunately many
folks may not realize the true
value of good health and the
value of our spare time until
it’s too late to use it; when we
get sick or old and lose our
good health or when we get
too busy and have no spare
time. Sometimes busyness is
a test from Allah SWT, we
may be rushing around always
busy, with work, busy with
chores, busy with our kids,
busy with everything else except busy making time to pray
to our Lord and Creator 5
times a day as He ordered us
to. Let us make a better effort
to manage our time more efficiently not just for all these
worldly things but also so that
we can devote more time to
praying to and thanking our
Lord God Almighty for all the
favors and bounties he blesses
us with daily…thankfully
we’re alive, we can see, we
can hear and talk and feel and
taste and walk etc.. RememAL-HIKMAT
ber, Allah is not in need of our
prayers and thanks, we are the
ones that need to show our
love, gratitude and servitude to
Him. My friends, sooner or
later we will all die and leave
this world, our time for using
our good health and our free
time will be over, it will be too
late for tears. As the Prophet’s
companion Omar R.A said:
“Hold yourselves accountable
before you are held accountable and weigh your deeds
before they are weighed for
you”. Great words of wisdom
for us all. Also, the noble
Prophet PBUH said: Take advantage of 5 things before 5
others happen: 1) Take advantage of your youth before you
grow old. 2) Take advantage
of your health before you fall
sick. 3) Take advantage of
your wealth or money before
you become poor. 4) Take
advantage of your spare time
before you become busy.
5) Take advantage of your life
before you die. Let us ponder
and then act on this great advice from the wisest man to
ever walk this earth,
Muhammad SAW.
May Allah SWT grant us
all the life, health and
motivation to meet and
observe the blessed month
of Ramadhan in the best
manner, may He guide us
to do more good deeds
and to utilize the bounties
and favors that He has
blessed us with to gain
from all His blessings,
mercies, forgiveness and
salvation available in the
blessed month of
Ramadhan and beyond,
Ameen.
DIVORCE
IS
NOT THE END OF LIFE

It is important for them to get
this out of their system because that is natural grieving
response. Once they have accepted it, let them build a life
for themselves through educational and work. It may take
few years but it is for their own
good. During this period, if
they find someone nice, by all
means encourage them to explore the opportunity but if not,
do not push them into marrying just about anyone because
if they go ahead and marry
without any solid education or
financial support, they are very
likely to end up feeling inferior and inadequate. This can
lead to trouble in marriage
which is certainly not desirable a second time. Pray, pray
and pray some more. Nothing
works better than prayers. No
amount of education, financial
support, effort or background
check on the prospective
groom will yield better results
than when all of these are
combined with duaa. It works
wonders and when combined
with physical efforts on your
part, it can produce some
magical results. I am a big
believer in human effort but I
have seen and experienced the
sheer magic of hard work
when it was combined with
duaa because duaa brings that
additional x-factor to it that
sheer human effort cannot. So
pray for the girl, encourage her
to pray for her brighter future
and then make all the effort required on your part. The results will most definitely surpass your expectations. I
know a young girl who got
married to the wrong man,
came back to parents house

in three months, found herself
pregnant, gave birth to a boy,
got divorced, all of this within
one year of marriage. She was
depressed, but prayed a lot.
Had a very strong support system. Luckily found a guy in
similar situation after two
years. Got married to him and
they have now been married
for ten lovely years. It’s a
beautiful union and she says
nothing would have changed
her life had she not believed in
power of duaa. So by all
means find solace in remembrance of Allah for He alone
can change your life and put
all your worries to rest.
